Well, it's been over 22 years. Traffic is pathetic. Internet message boards are closing everywhere. It's time. 

My plan is to archive the phorum. No threads will be lost. Everything will remain searchable. Phatmass.com will continue as a website, mainly as a news aggregator and search resource.

The Phatmass community, aka, the Phamily, has been such a huge part of my life. We have to have a way to keep in touch. My first instinct is to use the Phatmass Facebook group.

But, maybe that's not the best way? Let's decide on the best place to move. Here are some links to potential places for us to move to:

Phatmass Facebook group

Phatmass Subreddit

Also, maybe Quora or Discord?

Has Twitter been considered?

Joking aside I haven’t been here in a while but this phorum is part of why I stayed Catholic in high school almost ten years ago. End of an era indeed. 
 

One of my favorite phorum memories was photographing a bunch of phatmass rappers at a Catholic Underground in NY in like 2014-15. It was pretty rad. 

I'm around on Facebook and discord and Reddit so wherever yous end up I’m sure to stop in and say hey.

Weren't you the person who called me a "loser" for trying to message you once? 😂 That might've been someone else. I had another account back then.

Golden Years

Phatmass Phorum and especially Vocation Station was a huge part of my life, and I am sorry to see it close. Thank you dUSt for creating and maintaining this safe space for us! 💝

Saw the message on Facebook and came here to pour one out for the phorum.

Phatmass subreddit would be dope.

 

Thanks to @dUSt for a place to discover faith and community in formative years. Judging by comments here and on FB you have had a very large impact.

I just got the email. I vote for a Discord, personally. But I also joined the subreddit and Facebook group.

 

I went ahead and submitted an app here.

WOW, there are a lot of rules there... and you get quizzed on them to be able to join... :\

I joined the subreddit, as that's more my speed.

Any actual decision where Pham is going to re-form?

i would hope that dUst, son of a great, will make a final post indicating where we can wonder to.

What will become of us now?

Just now, I feel lost in the doldrums.   Stationary........... Waiting.

Quote

 

Day after day, day after day................ We stuck, nor breath nor motion;  As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, every where,...............And all the boards did shrink;    Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.

                                      (from Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner)
